[Complete] The Voyage Out by Virginia Woolf - lt
So far, it hasn't been a feel good story anyway.
Will take me a bit to listen to all of it, am currently listening to 'The Testaments' (sequel to 'The Handmaid's Tale'). I just can't put it down.

Ch 22 - 24 are PL OK.
Only two more hours to go. Kudos for your stamina at narrating the book. I don't remember another book that is so dull. Flat, interchangeable characters, and what with the constant switching between Christian names and surnames, I'm still having trouble to know who is who -- no character stands out, and I don't care about a single one of them! If I look at all the four and five star reviews, I guess I completely miss the point of this book.

Corrections completed.
It will be good to put this behind us
Strange, as I picked this book after reading Mrs. Dalloway by Woolf (it's not PD, written in, I believe, 1925). She's the same Mrs. Dalloway who was on the boat for a while, if you can recall that far back. I really enjoyed that book. But I think this one was written in one of Woolf's periods of depression, shortly after her sister's death.

Ch 19 and 21 are PL OK. I messed up ch 26. The repeat is 'with', not was, and it's still there, sorry.
I read that this was Virginia's first novel, and that she learnt from her mistakes in her later novels. Still, I don't think I'll try another book by her.

Thank you, Claudia. This was quite a slog. I'll try and pick something more lively next time!
